ABSTRACT
In honor of Will Downs and his example of making original research papers available to the scientific community, we present a translation of the classic study of the Baode area of Shanxi Province, China, written by Otto Zdansky in 1923. The translation preserves the idiosyncratic spelling and technical language of the original, in part a product of the times.
